At African Union's Web Site, Still No Mention of Death of Nelson Mandela

Reading the African Union Web site, one would have no idea that one of the leading figures of Africa and the rest of the world, Madiba, has just passed away. The African Union Web site is supposed to be the source of news for that huge organization that is supposed to represent all of Africa. On the Web site of the United Nations, is a tribute to Nelson Mandela by UN chief Ban Ki-Moon. However, there is no mention of this important death on the Web site of the African Union. The passing of Africa's most famous son is apparently being mourn more by people from outside the continent. This is just one of the ways African leaders are keeping their distance from Mandela because he calls attention to their rapacity.
